Description:

Do you speak fluent dog, tolerate cat judgment, and get excited about helping pets feel better?

At Providence Pet Hospital, we're looking for a Veterinary Assistant who is compassionate, hardworking, curious, and ready to jump in wherever needed. No two days are the same, and that's exactly how we like it.

We're a team that believes great medicine starts with great people. We laugh together, learn together, celebrate wins together, and support each other through the tough days.

What You'll Be Doing

Every day is different, but you can expect to:

• Help veterinarians and technicians provide exceptional patient care
• Gather patient histories, obtain vitals, and prepare pets for their appointments
• Assist with exams, diagnostics, treatments, surgeries, and hospitalized patient care
• Collect lab samples, run in-house diagnostics, and prepare samples for outside laboratories
• Prepare and dispense medications with accuracy and attention to detail
• Take radiographs while following proper safety procedures
• Comfort nervous pets (and sometimes their humans)
• Educate clients on preventive care, medications, vaccines, surgery aftercare, nutrition, and wellness plans
• Keep exam rooms, treatment areas, surgery, and the hospital clean, organized, and ready for the next patient
• Help maintain inventory so we're always prepared
• Jump in wherever your teammates need you, because teamwork makes everything better

You're Probably Our Person If...

• You love animals, but you also love people.
• You stay calm when things get busy.
• You enjoy learning something new every day.
• You don't wait to be asked, you see what needs to be done and do it.
• You believe every client deserves kindness, every pet deserves compassion, and every teammate deserves support.
• You're the kind of person who notices an empty syringe drawer, restocks it, and never tells anyone because that's just who you are.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Previous veterinary assistant experience
• Animal handling and restraint skills
• Surgical or anesthesia experience
• Laboratory experience
• Radiology experience
• Cornerstone or Pulse software experience
• (But if you're eager to learn and have the right attitude, we'd still love to hear from you!)

Why Providence?

Because we genuinely love what we do. At our hospital you'll find:

• High-quality medicine
• Ongoing training and mentorship
• Leaders who actually support you
• Opportunities to grow your skills and career
• Team celebrations, laughs, and plenty of adorable patients

Some days you'll be helping with surgery.
Some days you'll be snuggling hospitalized puppies.
Some days you'll be explaining heartworm prevention for the tenth time.

Every day, you'll leave knowing you made a difference.

What we offer:

• Competitive Compensation Package, $15-18/hour
• Work-Life Balance
• Health, dental, & vision insurance
• Paid Time Off
• Robust veterinary service discounts for your pets
• Complimentary Wellness Plans for your pets
• Generous referral program
